    I know the Z30 is hardly out but I believe it is the last of the 6 devices that blackberry had planned to release this year. What's next? Are they holding until they have a buyer or do they have a plan?

    Still one more to go....they said 6 devices this year

    I think I have an idea what it might be ..... but I will let it slide this time and not say a thing. The next device I think will seperate itself from the current offerings and split its fan base on what they choose. Ultimately it will glide into the product portfolio and offer a bit of everything for potential buyers

    I think this is the last product you will see from BlackBerry as you know it today. Why else release it where they did, at the time they did, without any representation from their CEO... No disrespect to our Malaysian friends, but this launch screams, lets do this as quietly as possible, because no one will know, and no one will buy this in North America.

    To be fair, the ceo said "5", maybe "6" devices for 2013. He said early this year at several events and also cnn I believe.

    I really don't count the OS 7 phone as one of those he mentioned. So, my guess is, either there will be another 5" model (high end) or another low end model by the end of the year. I'm hoping for a Q30 before a Z5.

    If this is, indeed, the actual launch and that's all there is then it's pretty subdued. The timing could have been a lot better than launching right into the yearly release of the new iPhones. I mean, Apple only launches smartphones once a year so you pick this week? The reviews of the iPhone 5s come out today - most are calling it the best smartphone ever made.

    I think they are trying to conserve cash, whatever 5th or 6th device was in the roadmap will be skipped. If they are still a hardware maker in 2014, then you'll probably see things then

    The problem for Apple is people don't really care anymore. Yes the media fawn over it as always and some fans will line up but Apple has to face it, they have lost their luster.

    Nope not saying Blackberry is better, just saying it's a bit silly for Apple references to keep popping up on Blackberry forms when Apple is heading towards being the next Blackberry. The company has pretty much lost it's luster. The iPhone small screen is pretty much equivalent to the Blackberry Keyboard, except worse because it has no function at all. Apple=boring. Finger print scan, who cares???

    Z30 isn't out here (USA). I'm not sure it ever will be given the company will be taken over in November.

    In my view BB should work on BBM, and a email/PIM productivity suite that basically takes over those features on Android phones. Blackberry bought Gist and they should take that base and their own know-how and make business communication suite that people will pay for. They do have the ability to do that and software is way more profitable than hardware.

    On the forums some people have mentioned the O-series, but it is at least six months away.

    Maybe the O-series is the laptop replacement? Maybe it has the super camera?

    1) the O series is a new flagship 5" phone.
    2) the likly timetable is a June/July launch so as to not crowd the Z30 launch my launching a new flagship too soon.
    3) BlackBerry will be at least planning on launching new devices. If they aren't able to find a buyer by November or if that buyer wants to keep and continue the hardware business it is better for it to stay up and productive, and if they want to shut it down they can do that.

    I can't see the media caring about it unfortunately. With the IPhone 5s and OS7 and the launch taking place outside of North America and no actual date as to when or if it will hit the USA I think it will be barely mentioned. I hope I'm wrong!
